Mating calls – the horrific reality of male-on-male rape in US prisons

There are probably more men than women raped in the United States every year—most of them in prison. Best estimates put the annual number of prison rapes at about 140,000, which is 50,000 more than the 90,000 or so rapes of women reported to police. Gang rape of the most brutal kind is common, and weaker prisoners often seek protection from a “daddy” who fights off other predators in exchange for total submission and sex on demand. There is an ugly racial dimension to prison rape: Blacks and Mexicans deliberately seek out white victims, and black-on-white rape is probably more common than any other kind. Prison rape is an appalling secret in a country that prides itself on human rights.

…“When a new inmate enters an open barracks prison it triggers a sort of competition among the convicts as to who will seduce and subjugate that new arrival. . . . Every new arrival is a potential victim. Unless the new arrival is strong, ugly, and efficient at violence, they are subject to get seduced, coerced, or raped … . Psychosocially, emotionally, and physically the most dangerous and traumatic place I can conceive of is the open-barracks prison when first viewed by a new inmate.”

The only sure defense against rape is the willingness to fight, and even this may be no protection against gang assault. In many prisons a small, unaggressive white is sure to be raped, probably by blacks or Hispanics. As one prison guard explains, a young white has “almost zero” chance of escaping rape “unless he’s willing to stick someone with a knife and fortunate enough to have one.” Some of the tougher inmates may even fight each other for the chance to rape an effeminate young white.

Rape is so common it has its own terminology. To rape a heterosexual man and turn him into a sexual plaything is to “turn him out,” and the victim is known as a “turnout” or “punk.” If a turnout seeks the protection of another inmate to avoid an endless series of rapes by other prisoners, he is “riding with” his protector. He becomes essentially the property of his protector and is known as his “bitch” or “ho” or “boy.”

…The racial dynamic in prisons puts whites at a tremendous disadvantage. First, whites are often outnumbered by both blacks and Hispanics. But far more important, just as they show no racial solidarity in “the free world,” whites in prison do not band together to protect each other from predators. As No Escape reports, Hispanics sometimes rape Hispanics, and blacks sometimes rape blacks, but neither group permits anyone of another race to rape its own people. If a black tried to “turn out” a Mexican, the Mexicans would riot and try to kill him. Blacks also defend each other from white or Hispanic rapists. It is only whites—unless they are known members of white racialist gangs who do stick together—who are on their own and can be raped with impunity.

Some whites must choose between being the sex slave of one man or facing repeated assault. The stories they told No Escape read like nightmares:

“I had no choice but to submit to being Inmate B’s prison wife. Out of fear for my life, I submitted to sucking his dick, being fucked in my ass, and performing other duties as a woman, such as making his bed. In all reality, I was his slave … . I determined I’d be better off to willingly have sex with one person, than I would be to face violence and rape by multiple people. The most tragic part to this is that the person I chose to ‘be with’ has AIDS.”

A Michigan inmate writes:

“[Another prisoner] claimed me as his property and I didn’t dispute it. I became obedient, telling myself at least I was surviving … . He publicly humiliated and degraded me, making sure all the inmates and guards knew that I was a queen and his property. Within a week he was pimping me out to other inmates at $3.00 a man. This state of existence continued for two months until he sold me for $25.00 to another black male who purchased me to be his wife.”

…“You will clean the house, he said, have my clothes clean, and when I’m ready to get my ‘freak’ [sex] no arguments or there will be a punishment! I will, he said, let my homeboys have you or I’ll just sale you off. Do we have an understanding? With fear, misery, and confusion inside me . . . I said yes.”

Once a man “owns” another—and it is almost always a black “owning” a white—he is property in every sense. He can be rented out, sold or auctioned, told how to dress and talk, and given a woman’s name. That this can happen is essentially unknown outside the prison world. “It would amaze you (as it did me) to see human beings bought & sold like shoes,” writes a Texan prisoner. “You can buy a kid for 20 or 30 dollars on most wings!!” writes another. “They sell them like cattle.”

…“I’ve been sentenced for a D.U.I. offense. My 3rd one. I’m a tall white male, who unfortunately has a small amount of feminine characteristics. And very shy. These characteristics have got me raped so many times I have no more feelings physically. I have been raped by up to 5 black men at a time. . . . I probably have AIDS now. I have great difficulty raising food to my mouth from shaking after nightmares or thinking so hard on all this… . I’ve laid down without a physical fight to be sodomized. To prevent so much damage in struggles, ripping and tearing. Though in not fighting, it caused my heart and spirit to be raped as well. Something I don’t know if I’ll ever forgive myself for.”

Needless to say, men will do just about anything to avoid this kind of horror. Suicide is the leading cause of death in prisons, and is the only way out for some rape victims. Some break prison rules so they will be locked up in punitive custody. One prisoner even had his family deposit money into bank accounts owned by the black Crips gang in the hope of buying protection. Of course, he was raped anyway.

…No Escape recognizes reluctantly that blacks and Hispanics often rape whites out of pure hatred, and relish the chance to degrade whites. As one inmate explains, “Gangs of black and Spanish inmates are very angry at free-world white people for a variety of reasons, and this results in an attitude of vengeance towards white people in prisons.” Blacks reportedly like to say “Y’all may run it out there, but this is our world!” or “Ain’t no fun when the rabbit’s got the gun, is it?”

One white explains that “those two races [blacks and Hispanics] have a lot of people in here and take advantage of us by making the small and weak ones ride or turn them out, and the big ones have to fight all the time.”

The video case study of 17 year suicide Rodney Hulin is heartbreaking. He begged the authorities to help him and was spurned. H ewas locked up for burning a bin and ended up being raped, beaten and humiliated to the point of suicide by inmates.

“Hispanics sometimes rape Hispanics, and blacks sometimes rape blacks….” And do you even care that this happens? Were any black or Hispanic victims of rape interviewed? This whole article implys that the only type of rape we should be caring about is the rape of the white inmates.

Yes I aggree whites get terrorized in prisons because of their smaller population. But it seems all that you care about is what color is raping who?

Martin is probably a stupid White liberal. We never should have let the third world filth in this country. 100 years ago when this country was 90% White, Whites would have never allowed this stuff to happen their own. It’s disgusting we’ve been brought to this level.

this is the dumbiest prejudice, and stereotypical shit i ever read in my life. This is very one sided. Please tell me that the asshole that wrote this racists shit is black. But, i know better. Your telling me that white men in prisons aren’t raping black men get out of here. This issue is a very serious one. Prisoner being raped isn’t only affecting the black communities, but the white ones as well. White women do date black men also. Instead of dictating which race are commiting these rapes you should be advocating for a way where, these prisoners aren’t bring these disease back to all of our communities. Also, how to counsel these inmates on not committing these crimes once released from prison.

You can not tackle a complex societal problem without first committing to the truth regardless of how uncomfortable it may make us. Male on Male rape particularly in prison is mostly perpetuated by black men against white men. let’s confront this problem head on and not resort to name calling such as “racist” that serve no purpose but to either justify your own personal racial uncomfortableness or merely to distract. Fact: black men rape white men, now what are we going to do about it? Point fingers, dig our heads in the sand or try to eliminate this problem head on with honesty.

i really dont think any of you have a clue whats actualy taking place in prison!! im white and yes ive been in prison yes ive been a wife my name was sherry even to this day i dont know of anything that can be done to stop this from happening in prisons. i was in tucker in arkansas for 7 yrs wasnt that many mexicans there but blacks wud fight over white bitches dam near every white there was married to a black it is only way to survive your stay trust me!! there was at least 10 blacks for every white there i was raped by many the first nite there i learned the ropes very quick hell i seen very big white boys come in there and think it wont happen to them lol after many severe ass whippings they were glad to be a wife!! im not ashamed of what i did there at all i made it thru and was never hit or beaten just gave in first nite and learned to enjoy it.i was called sherry for so long i still answer to that name lol. yes i was sold a few times and pimped out omg alot for cigerettes im very lucky i never caught anything fucked hundreds of black men no condoms gave thousands of blojobs yes i had to make his bed bring his plate to him at meals and be at his side 24-7 truth is hell bout every other white guy there was in same boat as me!! its not about race thats bullshit!!! i wud hav been someones bitch regardless you just find a big bad sob dont matter what race just a man nobody will fuck with!! didnt matter to me i was married to a black man as long as i was his wife nobody wud fuck with me they wud have to pay him for sex with me al that was ok he protected me and was very good to me and of coarse im sure he made alot of cash selling me and those cigerretes

One more thing, please educate yourself on the 40+ years of collected data including first hand accounts of rapists before you through the “racist” card around. Some of us are committed to eradicating violence in our society and your same old, same old excuses/distractions bring nothing new to the table. Be part of the solution, we have enough people (prison officials/racial apologists, etc.) already who are part of the problem.

Your liberal viewpoints and rules don’t apply inside prison. That’s what you don’t understand. I think this article hits the nail on the head. A small, white, attractive male is the biggest target for rape in the prison system. Of course, people of all colors get raped, but this article is about the plight of the white male in prison.

Oh no, if we talk about the white man being hassled by other races it has to be bias or racist in some way. Remember that the same rules that apply in your suburban cul-de-sac don’t apply everywhere else.

Stacy’s comments are so out of touch with reality. She has zero experience… I “lived” in 3 prisons and the above article is actually skewed toward more of a so-called-balance than really exists. Yeah, go volunteer to do the counceling then come back and revisit your earlier statements. Yes it happens that white men rape black men but the incident number (and in proportion to the population distribution) is still way out of whack. The rare times this occurs is usually in lower-level security with much older white male and a much younger black victim. Or, the agressors are members of the AB/AN or some variant thereof.

No, you moron. No white men rape black MEN (just as very few white men rape black women). The sexual attractiveness is all the other way. Of course, there is undoubtedly a lot of same-sex rape in prisons, and that, too, is unacceptable. But the bottom line is that white men are being brutally gang-raped by gloating racist nonwhites in our filthy Third World prisons, in our filthy Third World country (ain’t “diversity” wonderful?), and THIS MUST STOP! RACIALLY SEGREGATE PRISONS – NOW!

I always wonder if the Atlanta Child Murderer who was killing all these young black boys back in the late 1970s and the early 1980s was really a Caucasian prison rape survivor acting out his hatred and anger towards all the black men who had stripped him of his manliness. I know it sounds cruel for me to say this. However, Wayne Williams did not look like someone who had it in him to kill anyone. I think he was railroaded, because public officials feared racial riots if the real killer was found. I’m not justifying those murders, but I’ve seen black prison rapists interviewed on YouTube, and one of them had a son. I think something like this would cause them to reevaluate their own actions, unless they simply don’t care whether their kids live or die. Just food for thought.

Before bleeding hearts start feeling too sorry for these who get “turned out” in prison; at least some of them are there for victumizing others sexually. I personally it’s good for them to get what they dished out. I say “hurray” for the prisoners who use these slime for their women! “Gang bang ’em DAILY is what I say!

That’s just nasty and wrong. I hate sexual predators as much as the next person, but since I started researching what is happening with men, and prison rape it’s just wrong.

No one deserves this. Also it’s not as black and white as you think.

The US government introduced drugs into a lot of these minority communities, got the people hooked on drugs selling etc, then the jail time started. In the last 20 years, the US now houses more prisoners than any other nation.

Then when these men are in prison many are raped, I will guess the number is much higher than even human rights watch knows. Men don’t report this, the ones that do are ignored. Most importantly this cycle of rape and violence does not stop in prison.

We know that HIV in black women is now spreading, and the research seems to indicate many of these women dated men who were in prison or jail. Many of the men in the black community with HIV were also in jail, or dated someone who was in jail.

Then you have white inmates, blacks etc, being initiated into gangs, and worst racist attitudes than when they went in.
“Prison is the best recruiting ground the white power movement has! 58

This is from the book- No escape: male rape in US Prisons.”

Then when the men do get out, the rapes cause psychological issues for the men and some have to deal with diseases which they then spread back out into the community.

Other go on to commit acts of violence. It’s said that the majority of males who rape other men in the outside world are white. Is there any correlation with the fact that they are easy victims in jail? It’s been reported that some men who are victimized go on to perpetrate the cycle of violence outside.

That’s just the issues we know of. When these men get out, many can’t work, they are psychologically messed up, and the tax payers then pay for HIV medication for the ones who do get tested, many other just continue to have sex, and some go on to have sex with both men and women, so it’s a big problem, and after doing the research, I don’t see anything funny about it, and I don’t agree with it.

Things need to change. They need a grievance procedure for prisons that is anonymous and one that works. They need to allow condoms across the board, they need to allow family visits, and yes it seem that desegregation might help, but with such unfair numbers, I am not sure it will.

I don’t now where you get your facts from but every study on the subject since the mid 60’s indicate that the vast majority of male on male rapes are perpetuated by Black men. What you need to do is adjust the data based on size of the different minority populations. Clearly you are not comfortable with this ugly fact, but making up excuses and tampering with empirical data to come to a conclusion that suits your values best is what I the Nazi’s did also.

who do you think you are to judge all people serving time in this country? Many prisoners who are sexually abused in prison are 1st time & non-violent. They are prayed upon by the violent career criminals. Are the only people that matter to you your family? Your hateful.

You’re a fool! The most common rape in prison is of white men, often STRAIGHT, being gang-raped by packs of feral black savages. “Sexual predators” is often a bogus category, especially in our feminazified court system. Ever heard of false allegations? VERY common. Seriously evil criminals should be tortured and executed – but in a controlled and rational and proportionate manner. In prison rape, it is usually relatively non-evil convicts (like low-level pot dealers, or completely innocent “white collar” “offenders”) who get raped by seriously disgusting, violent minorities. Where is your RACE PRIDE, and plain common sense??

Do NOT feel sorry for those forced to have sex in prison. Many of them are in there for forcing themselves on others sexually. They are in there for other horrific crimes too. I say GOOD for the prisoners who use them for their toys and slaves. They are just learning what it is to be victumized. The guards should just stay out of it and let them be used as often as the other prisoners want to use them. If they tattle, they should be given over to the men they told on, for further usage. (My daughter was raped by one of these punks; so LET THEM BE RAPED!!!)

Just because your daughter was raped does NOT mean you have to take out anger on all the rapists in the world. Rape is rape. And the victims are not to blamed no matter what. You need to shut the fuck up. I don’t see your daughter cursing the rapists. Stay out of it !

My daughter was raped by an ex convict; so let them be raped as often as possible by other convicts is what I say. DON’T feel sorry for them. Let the whole prison have the rapists and child molesters to use as they will. I see absolutely nothing wrong with allowing them to be used the way they used others. I rather cherish the idea of the slimeball who raped my daughter being raped 20 or 30 times a day for the rest of his life. I know he was raped in jail while waiting for trial. GOOD for the men in his jail cell who used him the way he used my daughter. My daughter LAUGHED when she found out and told me she was only sorry that she couldn’t have watched.
So, does anyone else feel about it the way I do?

I’m writing again to simply say that what happened to your daughter is a horror. With that said one would think that someone who experienced such violation of their humanity would never, never, never “laugh” and wish they could watch another’s debasement. The bigger crime is that she has let her rape deprive her of her compassion & humanity, and surrendered to hate & that is sadly solely on her.

If the guy truly raped your daughter, then he should be whipped, or castrated, and put at hard labor. But there are many innocent persons in prison, and they are most likely to be the ones being raped, not the real hard cases. You know nothing.

James Morrell: you are a sad, bitter, pathetic shell of a man. I am terribly sorry for what happened to your daughter. I understand her and your anger towards the perpetrator. But why condemn hundreds of thousands of other men, some of whom may be completely innocent of any crime, to being raped? And why gloat about your bitterness?

I have been in prison in the UK and me or any of my Friends have never auctioned other men other raped them your child abusers and rapist,s etc deserve burning and cutting up but them animals in the US prisons all need a bullet in the back of the head sodomizing young kids who are sent to the prisons for crimes that deserved no more than work in the community instead thrown in while the screws watch on, a disgrace

You’re a moron. This has nothing to do with Corporations, war, etc. This has to do with actual physical rape. I tell you what, here in a couple months go file your tax return, then go get ass raped and get back to me on the differences.

IM FROM ENGLAND , I DONT BELIEVE THE RAPE OF PRISONERS HAPPENS IN BRITISH JAILS VERY OFTEN , I DO BELIEVE CHILD MOLESTERS RAPISTS SHOULD BE STERILISED , LABOTAMISED , NOT PUT IN PRISON AS WE DO HERE , THEY ARE RELEASED TO OFFEND TIME AFTER TIME , DOING WORSE CRIMES .,IN AMERICAN PRISONS I FEEL THAT MALE ON MALE RAPE WILL ALWAYS HAPPEN AS THEIR PRISONS ARE LARGER , THE STRONG FEEDING ON THE WEAK SEXUALY . I HAVE BEEN RAPED MANY TIMES BY BLACKMEN , WHITEMEN , I AM A GAY MAN WHO I SUPPOSE WOULD BE TURNED OUT IN AMERICAN PRISONS ,

get rite down to it folks its only sex not rape if men wud just not resist and go with the flow it wud be simply sex and i think since there is no way to stop it they shud be passing out condoms on a regular basis you can talk about it till your blue in face truth is lock up 1000 men together with no girls hey after a month or so you are going to see men suckin men and much more lol it is a reality im sorry but if condoms were used at least it wud slow or stop the spread of diseases and that was my worst fear in prison was aids

It’s an absolute disgrace, how can any decent law abiding citizen agree to inmates getting raped in prisons, no matter where these prison reside! Shame on the ones that supported rape in prisons, do try & join the human race will you, the race that is for decency & humanity! James Morrell i think anyone can sympathise with the tragic circumstances, concerning the rape of your daughter, you should know better anyway, given the fact the pain, anguish, terror, anger & perhaps suicidal feelings that rape perbatrates on a human being, to know better that you shouldn’t be supporting RAPE of another human being. Infact, have you ever thought that the man who raped your daughter that he may have had exactly the same distorted thoughts as you & your daughter had, suppose he was thrown in jail for domestic violence, say the domestic violence was in self-defense after SHE had thrown a dinner plate at him, SHE got hurt too but the cops believed HER, so he got thrown in jail & was raped, then comes your daughter into this ex-cons life, your daughter reminds him of ‘ HER ‘ & decides to take his suffering out on your daughter, she’s just as well suited, as your daughter was like ‘ HER ‘ that got in him jail for self-defence & as a result couldn’t escape rape in jail. No society will ever be able to sort out it’s own civility, on the above mental scale. People need to put their foot down concerning RAPE & that is NEVER CONDONE RAPE IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM, FULL-STOP!!!!

The US government introduced drugs into a lot of these minority communities, got the people hooked on drugs selling etc, then the jail time started. In the last 20 years, the US now houses more prisoners than any other nation.

Then when these men are in prison many are raped, I will guess the number is much higher than even human rights watch knows. Men don’t report this, the ones that do are ignored. Most importantly this cycle of rape and violence does not stop in prison.

We know that HIV in black women is now spreading, and the research seems to indicate many of these women dated men who were in prison or jail. Many of the men in the black community with HIV were also in jail, or dated someone who was in jail.

Then you have white inmates, blacks etc, being initiated into gangs, and worst racist attitudes than when they went in.

Is there any correlation with the fact that they are easy victims in jail? It’s been reported that some men who are victimized go on to perpetrate the cycle of violence outside. Do some go on to rape women? How many rapists were previously in prison?

That’s just the issues we know of. When these men get out, many can’t work, they are psychologically messed up, and the tax payers then pay for HIV medication for the ones who do get tested, many other just continue to have sex, and some go on to have sex with both men and women, so it’s a big problem, and after doing the research, I don’t see anything funny about it, and I don’t agree with it.

Things need to change for these men, slavery has not ended in America, if you read the book no escape you will hear of men who became sexual slaves in jail. Men who psychologically and physically submit to sex not cause they want to but because there is no help and no escape. That is not consent, that is another more subtle form of rape.

The research into this has been horrible, but there is a real problem and the cycle of violence is all interlinked and it’s primarily affecting American society.

I AGREE THAT ALL THOSE MEN/WOMEN THAT ARE IN PRISON FOR RAPE, CHILD MOLESTATION, INCEST DESERVE TO BE RAPED! YES, IT SOUNDS HORRIBLE BUT THE VICTIMS DID NOT DESERVE TO BE MARKED FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES. IT IS ALSO PROVEN THAT PRISONERS THAT ARE RAPED ARE THOSE WHO FIT THE DESCRIPTION ABOVE.
I DON’T CONDONE RAPE IN PRISON OR ANYWHERE ELSE, BUT THINK ABOUT IT… IF A MAN/WOMAN IS IN PRISON FOR RAPING A LOVED ONE… WOULD YOU BE SO AGAINST IT? … THINK ABOUT IT…

Certainly to agree with you that it would make the victims happy to hear that their abusers have now suffered rape in retribution; but what you are missing is that most of those “MEN/WOMEN THAT ARE IN PRISON FOR RAPE, CHILD MOLESTATION, INCEST” have already been raped to begin with, and it is a cycle of abuse that institutions such as prison perpetuate. Breaking the cycle is the only thing that will help our society at large. It is a notion that is accepted that once someone has become institutionalized for small petty crimes and have learned how to survive the brutality of prison to return to normal society and not know how to conform to laws that seem so easy for us to understand. As a victim of sexual abuse beginning at a young age I can understand the lure of the horrible cycle, but through education I understand how to break it. Most never have that luxury of counseling and help; my abusers were abused themselves, and as much as I hate them I can understand their pain and anger. It’s not right any way you look at it; but it is a puzzle of human nature we have visceral responses to and we lash out in our own agony. I could almost see James Morrell’s willingness to harm or even rape in anger and retaliation as these are feelings that most rapists feel towards their own abuser’s. Now before you get up in arms; I am not saying you would do something like that, but just that those feelings are the same as the ones that fuel retaliatory attacks. I feel for you and your daughter. One of my abusers wound up in prison and I have to say I am glad even though he was a relative; whether or not he was raped in prison makes no matter to me because either way it would only further cement the miswired thinking of my abused abuser. Heaping wrongs on top of wrongs will never make things right.

It’s not always the governments fault. More accurately it is the total abdication of the African-American community to express acceptable standards of conduct to their young men instead of the constant search for an excuse “outside” of the hoods where children learn right from wrong before becoming adults. Your apology is systematic of all that’s wrong. Study after study shows that Black male prisoners do the vast majority of rapes inside prison or is that the government also, huh!

You chose to take one line out of context to suit your rant when you wrote “prison is the best recruiting ground for the white power movement has”-No Escape:Male Rape in US Prisons. The line you quoted (out of context) is part of a longer paragraph in which it is stated that because of the prevalence of Black Men raping White Men that White Supremacist do not find a shortage of new recruits in prison. The line you quoted in essence is saying that if interracial rape was eliminated (or reduced) the white supremacist would lose their biggest recruiting draw.

well look at it this way what if u went threw rape and put a man in jail does he deserv special previgles NO!!!!!! i dont not think so they should know what they put that child threw so in some caeses i think that men should be raped

I’m from England and
I’m shocked by that article. Male rapes should never ever take place… It’s an inhumane and truly disgraceful thing to do. I’m White – European myself and quite often experience verbal harassment from blacks or Hispanics . I have no idea where does that hatred come from??? Maybe it’s just a jealousy???? Most of them live on benefits anyway!!! One more thing… I think that rapists deserve the worst and should be jailed for life or executed ( no matter whether they’re black or White !!!) as I consider rape as one of the most horrific crimes!!!!!

I am not attacking you; just requesting clarification as to what you mean, and whether all rape is assumed to be included in your remarks. I agree male on male rape should never happen, but what about female on male or male on female? I think rape should begin to be considered gender neutral since it can be perpetuated by anyone. Female on female rape is prevalent according to some sources in the women’s prison system. Rape is about power, control and can be revenge oriented; the victim’s sexual preference is often irrelevent and so it the perpetrators. Even outside of prison most men who rape men consider themselves as heterosexual with normal relationships with women. Power and control.

since some of the people commenting here have problems accepting it (or feel that they have to argue with facts in order to be “open-minded” and “tolerant” and what not) : in the US the majority of prison rapes are committed by blacks and go against whites. yes, that IS true. and yes, the fact that a lot of blacks feel thrilled by the idea of having control over white people IS a common reason. had you bothered getting educated about this subject you would know this. you would also know that this is not just a claim made by whites but that blacks who are educated on this issue agree that most rapes are committed by blacks and go against whites.
i am so bored and tired of people throwing their babyish dumbo fits everytime a non-white population is correctly named as being the leading cause of a problem.

I HAVE BEEN RAPED MORE THAN ONE TIME. ONE OF THOSE TIMES WAS WHILE I WAS IN PRISON FOR DUI PROBATION ( I WANTED TO MOVE AFTER COLLEGE) I WAS FORCED TO GIVE ORAL SEX AND ANAL IF I WANTED TO LIVE.. THE GUARDS SAID ONLY I GUESS YOU SHOULDN’T HAVE LET THEM. THE FIRST TIME WAS ON A VISIT HOME FROM COLLEGE.. THAT TIME AN OFFICER ASKED ME WELL DID YOU SPEAK TO THEM FIRST WHY WOULD THEY WANT TO DO THAT.. YOU’LL BE OKAY. SO NOW I’M LEFT TO SUFFER STILL (9 YEARS LATER) FROM THE FIRST TIME AND ONLY A FEW AFTER THE PRION TIMES.

Another huge problem is the increasing number of non-violent and first-time offenders suffering from debilitating addiction that get put in jail with other more aggressive and violent offenders. Addiction is a powerful and often chronic disease that if left untreated can compel and drive many non-violent people to commit petty crimes. Someone suffering from the horrible and tragic struggle with drug and/or alcohol addiction needs treatment and not prison. So many non-violent and first time offending addicts get put into prison for petty crimes such as check forgery and theft. They often are not classified upon arrival and get housed with violent and sexual predators – many in for life – who care not what they do to whom. Addressing addiction on the outside first would be a start and maybe some of these individuals would not even be committing crimes but working on recovery insread of being raped in county jails and prisons. It is all so horribly sad and inhumane. Lives which have gone astray from addiction – where there might have been hope for rehabilitation and recovery with treatment – become completely derailed and ruined because of the emphasis our society places on punishment and not prevention.

People who are addicted to drugs should not be put in prison. They should be involuntarily committed to rehab clinics and/or put through the drug court system. Prison time does NOTHING to help drug addiction and has caused overcrowding of prisons to the point where truly dangerous, violent criminals are released back out on the streets to commit even more crimes.

I’m not surprised this goes on. This is why, the court system tries to protect good looking white guys, especially if the crime is minor from going to prison, because there is a good chance the white guy is going to be raped.

It is a horrible thing that a person should get raped. It is, I think, one of the worst things that can happen to somedy. I’ll be honest, though, and say that I do believe in the whole “An eye for an eye…” thing and I do think that those who kill or rape others should be killed or raped, too. I admit it is a horrific thing to say and wish on somebody, but I’m not perfect and that’s how I think.
Nobody should be raped in the first place. Ugh, I kind of lost my train of thought here, so I’ll finish by saying that while rape is a horrible thing, those who did it to others deserve getting it done to them.

I mostly agree with what you’re saying, and I’m not dissing you, I promise, but you need to remember that although those rapists and murderers are… well… rapists and murderers, in killing them or letting them be raped, you become just as much of an animal as they. I don’t know if I phrased that right… I was trying to say that it sucks to be raped ( trust me, I know ) but it sucks so much, I wouldn’t want it to happen to them on a scale described in this article you know? (and fyi: I’m not christian, like, i don’t believe in just taking the shit people through at you, but I would never want it to happen to someone even if they did it to me)
However, if an individual rapes and then murders like, multiple people, I’d actually advocate for their death. Just because they’ve reduced themselves to a point where they no longer deserve to be called human and we as a society do not need to waste our resources on keeping them alive. Regardless of race.

I agree with you! It sounds horrible to say, but I do feel that violent offenders, especially rapists and child abusers deserve to know what it is like to be raped. I think if someone raped me, or someone that I love, I would wish that same horror on them. Of course, there is no distinction in prison between the violent and non violent offenders. Anyone is fair game. Therein lies the problem. It would be nice if we can change prisoner mentality so that the men who rape others in prison would do it only to those that deserve it for the purpose of teaching them a lesson! That sounds like justice to me!

Hi i been reading the blogs with great interest and i think the rape issue will go on for yrs,I was wondering know one has mentioned if a first time offender that goes to prison in his mid to late 50’s are subjected to rape like the younger ones or is there no age issue.

I was raped when I was a sweet young man – where has he gone?, and like one of the respondents on here ‘went a bit numb.’ But I got over it. You can’t keep going through life holding on to the terrible things that have happened to you…having said that, I don’t believe the answer is to use a wrong to change or correct another wrong. Aren’t we as so called civilised homo sapiens meant to be above that? What I’m saying is that it is wrong for a male to rape another male, no matter what he (the victim) has done in his past.

Everyone knows that men who get regular sex are easier to control, which is no doubt why the guards like to place well matched bed mates together.
What i dont understand is why they cant start a prisoner programme that allows you to book a few of them to come over to your place for a weekend, do a bit of gardening or something and get a good humping in return?
I know many gay men like me would gladly pay to spend the weekend in prison getting unlimited access to horny men with sex on their mind…….

everybody on out free society knows what happens in prison if you are old enough to know what rape is. Why dont criminals stop and think about the anal rape first ,then decide whether they want to commit the crime. if they decide to commit the crime then they have no right to complain what happens to them when they get to prison, its that simple

i worked in a prison as a RN, so i saw the medical side of it. the prison i worked in was a low security state prison. it was estimated that 70 to 80 percent of all inmates where sexually active while incarcerated. this applies to all prisons. when we had transfers from other prisons, many would typically ask for a hiv test. one time i remember we sent out sixty hiv test and fifty one came back positive. all of these inmates acquired HIV while incarcerated. it is my understanding that between thirty to forty percent of all inmates have hiv or hep c or both. as far as the rape issue was concerned you knew that it happened but was rarely if ever reported. the worse thing any inmate could be was a snitch. there were rules between the inmates, kind of a do and don’t list. and u did not violate them, it could be your life.
i did the intake of young hispanic man, coming from another prison to ours he was 24, married 2 kids, in for posession of narcotics, i think he had like a year left. did his intake and never saw him again. about two months later i was getting report and was told that a young man was having panic attacks around lunch time and that he would come down to the infirmary and sit there until they subsided and he calmed down. did i not get a call at lunch time that this young man was on his way to the infirmary. the CO let me know he was in the waiting area, so i walked out and saw this young man, clean shaven, his hair in braids, lip stick, eye shadow and a dress over his prison clothes. i sat in shock when i realized this was the young hispanic man i had di his intake 2 months before. now he was some ones bitch.

you would not beleive you would not beleive what goes on in prison.
if you ever watched the HBO show OZ, they played it down.
in the more higher security prisons its not the CO’s [coreectional officers] who run the prison, but the prisoners, there can be 1 CO to 50 inmates in some prisons.
in a prison u hav more inmates for drug related crimes than any thing. for the most part the inmates are decent people who made a stupid mistake, for what ever reason.
as a friend of mine said “we are all just one mistake away from being in prison”

Rape is primarily an act of violence with sex as the weapon.
A prison is supposedly a correctional facility, not a rape factory. Torture chambers were left behind in the medieval period.
The sentence handed down by a Judge is the punishment. Inmates should only serve a sentence for which they have been convicted. Prisoners should not be subjected to extra-judicial, cruel or unusual punishment by uneducated, rough and tough fellow inmates.
Reading some of the commentary above, it seems as if ‘middle america’ is far too fundamentalist in its judgement of others, an unfortunate trait which some americans share with those medieval minded fundamentalist jihadists who brought down the Twin Towers.
One crime , just one punishment. Those who advocate an endless cycle of violence have lost their humanity.

the only way is total segregation, and total restriction on any inhumaine activities in prison( that includes any sexual activity unless it has been sactioned by the law, like conjugal visits once a week).
if there is any unsubordination the prisoners will be punished corporally, with a whip or a stick.
the prisoners (and guards) will do only explicitly is allowed by the law.

by the way, I think , the crooked cops, and people from the justice system if caught to break the law, in relation with their particular job, should be punished doubly. Child molesters and rapists should be on a special regime, very stringent and severe punishment and restrictions in and out of jail, with real monetary compensation to the victims provided by the rapists by working it off, no matter in or out of prison, and no statute of limitations on that. for a second offense a statutory death penalty.

the people are their mind and soul. taking their dignity and human spirit should never happen. no one wins in this game.

I am a liberal, but that does not mean that my eyes are closed. I am heterosexual, european white man. I live in a country where there is not such a big plethora of races, which actually means that the mixing of humans have produced a “uniform” , similar outer look of the resident individuals. That does not mean that I don’t know that bias or rasism ever stops to exist in human nature, because if the skin colour is the same then there will be something else to compete about. That is life as we know as humans. we can always get better.

Like everything I think a change can happen overnight, as long as enough people really want it. I not only believe in that. I know it to be so from experience. the big problem is that there are never enough people to think the same as to what really is a good thing to all of us. which comes from us being manipulated all the time. like in prison it is difficult to survive as a decent individual who is not harmed and does not harm anybody, so in the “free” world persons are not allowed to grow as an individuals, there are always race, class and other things that stops you.

Thank you for this report. I’ve read almost all the original postings from the extracts you use at other sites. It was a pleasure reading them again here, along with your takes and added details. The rape of men by men is very erotic and stimulating, I appreciate any treatment of the issue.

What I find fascinating, and repulsive, is that so much of the degradation used by the rapists is about forcing other men into the “roles” of women….even giving them women’s names, etc. What does this say about how society still views women? Or would any group of men in an intense, prolonged isolation turn its “weaker” members into sex slaves and property? Is it just the nature of men, and out in the free world women have to deal with it because we’re the easiest targets?

Look at this gang rape video and tell me that this should go on.
This has to stop now! The poor guy squirms in his own blood while he is raped by 6 or 7 hispanic.
You should be embaressed by your comments!

[Link removed. It was an attack site. Anyone who watched this link most likely got a trojan virus]

I’m going to be perfectly honest here, Why should rapists(especially pedophiles)be treated better in prison than their victims were treated in the outside world? I believe the ONLY way for a rapist to truly have empathy for rape victims is for them to get a taste of their own medicine. Protective Custody should NEVER be available to inmates who committed violent crimes or sex crimes! There has to be a point at which those who commit thoroughly heinous, violent crimes have forfeited their right as human beings. And Venessa, why the fuck shouldn’t James Morrell take his anger out on all the rapists of the world??? If you were raped, I highly doubt you’d feel sympathetic if you found out your rapist is now a bitch in prison.

I personally think it’s ironic that it would come to this, no man deserves to be raped. But if you were to think of it in a cynical way it’d be sort of a karma in the sense of the old days of slavery. What I find hilarious is all the subtle racism in this article, I mean so many stereotypes it’s hilarious. But of course if I complain about being stereotyped as a black, I’m being sensitive. What’s funny is that white people think that racism is dead, when it really isn’t. Like wise racism comes in all forms so I won’t deny it if it’s a fact (and it probably is) that white people get raped more often in prison. Then again, white people aren’t really used to or aren’t normally in prisons compared to other races even if they are guilty (for obvious reason). I personally think though that the only way around this is learning how to fight and protect yourself. I would gladly kill anyone who’d try to do that sick shit to me.

Amazing anyone can read this heart-wrenching article and find it “hilarious.” Dee is a person who has just read this terrible indictment of acts purpetrated by people of his race and yet he still finds the opportunity to play the “victim.” (violins playing) Somehow in Dee’s mind the offense identified is not sexual torture but telling the truth which happens to make people of his race look bad. Dee, you are not helping “your people” by coddling horrific behavior. You should have more respect for Blacks and hold them to a reasonable standard of conduct. It is that attitude that is the single greatest threat to Black advancement, insisting that Blacks cannot be given responsibility for their own actions. By the way, should you ever find yourself in prison you don’t have to worry, your Black brothers will protect you.

I was the typical male rape victim when I went to jail at age 19. White , slim, blonde hair, blue eyed, and not of a muscular build , sent to a huge county jail which was dominated by the blacks. The black inmates control the admission area, and when they see a potential target such as I, your placement in the jail is manipulated. I was sent to the top tier of the jail with a day room and a long hallway with 20 cells on each side of the hallway. I was the only white on the tier. I immediately was escorted to a rear most cell, farthest away from a guard , but 99% of the time there are no guards present. Within seconds, I was pushed on my back on a cot, and my pants were forcibly removed. Then I was flipped over face down. My mind was racing with thoughts, and and I thought my ass crack was going to be dry humped. I had never even heard about anal sex at all. I felt cold air on my ass, and then a huge black climbed on my back, with his hands pushing all his weight on my shoulders pinning me down. Instantly there was a hot dick pushing my ass crack, and when the hole was found, violent stabs with incredible force and within seconds, the breath was knocked out of me and this huge hot monster dick was slamming in and out. I started screaming, and then gagged by a hand making it almost impossible to breathe. After several minutes, it was over and I was relieved. However , to my suprise, it only just started and I painfully became quiet and each man was easier, until 8 men had ridden me, and the cell door slammed shut, leaving me locked alone and in shock and hurting beyond comprehension.

The next day. the cell was unlocked and i walked slowly and stayed to my self thru breakfast. After breakfast again I was escorted to the back, but this time, I layed down, became quiet and submitted ass knowing there was no way out. That time was 9 men. horrible.

I somehow ended up being segregated into protective custody for several weeks, then ending up being sent into population again. Within hours I had a razor knife to my throat, demanding ass. I being very scared, told them to put the razor down, and laid face down bare ass up and submitted thinking its only 1 , it cant be so bad as before. He mounted me, and it slipped in without any pain. A folded blanket ended up under my waist, and I was spread and layed there for atleast 20-30 minutes, all the while being slowly and thoroughly ass fucked until I felt him finish inside me.

After that time, I decided there is no way out, all the blacks want it, and its easier and tolerable to just submit to 1 instead of being violently forced by many.

Im sorry for what you went through. I think a solution to some of this is really to separate criminals into categories…violent offenders with violent offenders, people in for life with others in for life. There ought to be different prisons for each of these categories. These offenders actually probably corrupt non-violent individuals more, and may make them violent in return. Thus the entire problem worsens.
And why are prisoners allowed such free access to each other? So many men seem to be able to wander about without any guards “guarding.” Why does this happen? Should not these inmates be kept locked in their cell until someone can supervise them? They should not have such liberty, I think. This is why they are able to comit more crimes.

Separating certain groups of men in the prison system surely can’t be that difficult? Why the hell do they put a pretty looking white man on a wing with lots of blacks and Hispanics knowing that this will happen?

I am certainly not a racist. I am just realistic and I see things for what they are. I don’t bury my head in the sand to try and be ‘politically correct’. People are being raped and having their lives destroyed. To me tackling the issue is way more important. The prison system needs to be much more strict. CCTV cameras need to be installed for inmates safety and inmates with a history of rape or sexual abuse in or outside of prison need to be constantly supervised or kept away from other inmates.

I also think that different types of offenders should be separated and put onto different wings. For example, a small, white male who is in for drug possession should not be put on the same wing as a tough black male who is in for gang violence. It’s certain that the man who is in for drug possession is going to be seriously bullied in that situation. Programmes should also be introduced to help different types of offenders instead of grouping them all together.

The sad truth is is that the government just doesn’t care. People are numbers and not human beings.

I think that every human being deserves to be treated with at least some humility. Just because someone has been labelled a criminal it doesn’t mean that their human rights should just fly out of the window. I do understand though that there are and always will be many men in this system who will always be violent and a threat to society. It should be the prison system’s responsibility to care for all the inmates and keep them safe.

A big part of me believes that people should not even be sent to prison for non-violent crimes. There should be some other type of punishment for them such as community service and they should be sent to rehabilitation programmes.

The strange thing about male prison rape is the unconscious sexism of it.

The horror and injustice of this would be obvious if we put this in female terms.

Imagine if a girl was convicted of a crime – say drug dealing – and imprisoned. Would it be just if she were then subjected to repeated rape in jail, even gang raped by male prisoners, daily?

Of course not.

Yet this is the fate of thousands of men in US prisons.

The racial element may be important because these may be race crimes. Its possible that the rape of minority white inmates by the majority black inmates is simply them taking revenge on whites who they see as oppressors (on the outside) and hate accordingly. When the shoe is on the other proverbial foot, and blacks are the majority, are whites and other minorities racially abused? Evidence from prison and majority black neighbourhoods suggests the answer is “yes”. This indicates a deep and pervasive racism in the black community that is a real concern and should be a policy issue.

I have counselled male rape victims. Many times, Prison Staff are raped too; especially in Hostage situations. The confusion of males who ejaculate from pressure on their prostate, makes many think they wanted it. The advice supra, regarding seeking protection, is wise in any case. With H.I.V. & S.T.D.S. almost endemic in prisons, limiting the number of sex partners is crucial. Also, it is important for victims, and potential victims to understand, they might enjoy part of their victimization, which is physiological, and not an indication of sexual preference. Female prisoners subjected to lesbian rape face the same confusion.

I know this is an old post / comment but I appreciate it.
It has been many years since it happened to me but the shame stays with you and it is hard to find anyone to talk with who wouldn’t judge you for being raped

What a tragically written, poorly researched and very one sided article.

It just comes across as “Poor white PRISONERS getting raped by blacks and Mexicans” I am sure that wasn’t the intention, no?

Rape is vile, brutal, disgusting and horrific act. Unfortunately, America was founded on the rape and murder of millions of people. Do you know that Most Black American’s have upto 20% European ancestry? Where did this come from? countless female slaves, many just children being being brutially raped repeatedly by ‘ol’ Massa’ his good ol’ boys for decades.

America’s ‘rape of the world’ transformed it from the ‘country-cousin’ of Britain to the most richest and powerful nation on the planet. That money that america was built on was cursed and now we are witnessing its downfall. You cannot hide behind the sins of the fathers because many are still enjoying the profits of this ill gotten gain.

America has made its own bed, now it has to deal with being ass-raped in it. – Ipso-Facto.

Eric your argument is essentially: Because some white slave owners raped some black women 200 years ago, its OK for any black person to rape any white person today? I am sure you see the absurdity of this. Whites are guilty of association just because of their colour. Its the same essentialist crap at the root of all racism.

By the way, would it be OK for a black rapists to be, in his turn, ass raped?

America is one of the most messed up and evil country’s I can think of, purely because of there false belief of kindness and there chauvinistic attitude. They love to maim and kill innocent people from other nations just because they cannot defend themselves. I know the US means well but the people actual doing the fighting some of them have no morals at all.

From a “First world country” This raping should never happen – it is one of the worst things you can do to someone!!!!! Just imagine what it would be like!!! Yes everyone is different some people might love it just like some people like to fuck children.
Just shoot them in the back of the head it would be more humane. They can stop/minimise it….. if they can get a man to the moon surly they can build new prisons.

If you go by the attitude of an eye for an eye then all people who let this happen should be gang raped violently and painfully daily in public or made into a sex slave with only your anus and mouth – with aids.

you may think men fucking in jail is sick but truth is everyone needs sex!!! all i had to do was give in and be a wife for 5 years i never got my ass beat the whole time i was totaly protected everyone knew i was taken and as sick as you may think it is being a wife is very easy as long as you take good care of your man and do as he says you will be just fine!! i as many others actualy learned to enjoy being a wife hell im a small frame white man and i have a very phat booty so yes with a girlish body i was smart enuff to know what wud happen to me day one!!! so i found the biggest badest looking black man there and went rite up to him and said i wanted his protection and i was claimed rite then

It is scary to know that men, could become so debased in their natures, as to actually look upon another man as a sexual object, much less rape them. A note of contention though is the articles seemingly racial bias. If the prisons were mostly populated by whites, blacks would be the ones getting raped, and I am sure a lot of blacks are getting raped in there like their white counterparts.
The article is good in highlighting the horrors of prison rape in America’s prison system, but the racial divide is a reflection of the world outside where race has been a predominant factor in judging ones class,attitudes personality and place in society, with whites being the determinators and creators of this system.

That is not cool. I think if you are gay it’s your buisness but don’t hold another man down and shove your stiff cock in his ass. And how do these gay rapists have the never to say they are heterosexual?

It’s been 20 years since it happened to me and can relate.
2 years of being orally and analy used some times a couple of times a day. Luckily just with one cell mate
I know for a fact guards saw it happening and did nothing.
Just glad I did not have aids when I got out

I was a 19 year goth and looked feminine and am also bisexual and when I got to a VT jail, I got a head cook job, used to beat up child molesters and I always knew who was in the hole and would make them Nutra-loaf. And if out they’d get “pedo portions” aka a diet. And I was a pretty goth, I made the trans inmate I did time with jealous. But jail dudes were garbage. Sorry. I was the hottest goth guy and girl in my high school. Plus, I was outed at age 7 on Valentines Day and I knew I wasn’t “a complete faggot” from my friend’s other brother. I was bullied by one dude and his girlfriend. He ended up dropping out and she attempted suicide a couple times. I got manic and I am dangerous. I beat up a few punk ass kids too. I was very open minded going in and left racist. I was approached by black inmates and I said, if this white trash ain’t gettin’ none, you fucking niggers aren’t getting shit (I adapted to it). But they came up and said, “mmmmm, I know you got some suga in yo’ tank and they said I had DSL and said I could make a killing”… but I have a split tongue and had blades in my cheeks and wiggled them around my toungue played with them and yelled, “try it! I dare ya”.

I was also violent and an unmedicated bipolar. I was in for kicking open someone’s door, stealing my weed back and beating him and his dad to a pulp… all dressed like Nancy from that movie, the Craft. I wasn’t raped, I was feared because I was pretty but if I got one too many whistles or howls about my “hot ass” which I got a lot, as well as referred to as she but I was stuck up and had the hottest girlfriend in the place, also bisexual and wanted me to mess with other guys. I am top shelf and I bullied all the gay people there too since most of them were sex offenders. They used to never check my knuckles because I looked like a goth female. Got a 1/2 ounce of weed. I used to break at least a few things when I beat up pedophiles so I was good. Got away with it too. Sucked a CO off after I was released though because he was fucking HOT!

I want to feel bad and I want to say that the vitriol whites feel about this is justified but unfortunately, I don’t really care. Whites permanently altered history with their genocides, colonialism, and imperialist tactics. They completely eradicated e tire cultures and ways of life. Of people that didn’t even have means to defend themselves.now that you all are being targeted in the prison industrial complex that your uncles and grandad probably whole heartedly invested in as a way to get rid of a so called problem you all created. I really don’t feel sorry at all, this is karma and unfortunately it’s very true that children pay for the sins of their fathers. If any of you had attempted to make it right, this probably wouldn’t be happening so again I still don’t feel sorry for you and it’s indirectly your fault though the act (or lack thereof) of complacency.

Do you believe white women should also be raped for the sins of their forefathers? What about African-American women who are on average 20% caucasian? According to your “reasoning” should be legitimate. What’s funny to me is that as castigate racist systems that oppress black men you perpetuate deeply racist ideas of racial essentialism (that whites are some collected mass). If whites are the amorphous mass connected by collective guilt, the so are blacks. If it is all about karma and sins of the father, maybe African-Americans are oppressed because black people commuted genocide in DRC or Rwanda or because of the sins of black West African slave traders? Can you see the insanity of your logic now?

I did a year in a pretty large county jail when I was 19. In that year their was 1 rape, he had taken a 13 year old girl violently sodomised her stabbed her and left in a ditch for dead. He was getting fucked hard anytime a redneck dad could get to him. That being said their are a lot of totally “straight” guys married with a bunch of kids at home who are “gay for the stay” I had a guy tell me that it’s cool to have sex with other guys as long as you stop two weeks before you get out. I was propositioned but politely refused. Believe it or not a lot of guys locked up are hooking up with other dudes. Ladies think about that if your man is behind bars. Your stud drug dealin’ man might just be taking it in the ass in the showers right now!
